We are told that we must give up our right to privacy in order for the government to protect us from the horrors of child molesters, et al. Recently, a Canadian man was charged with 572 instances of having individual and group sex with pre-teenage boys. He was sentenced to a 'duece-less' (two years less a day), which is 'soft time' in Canada, and is served in a provincial jail instead of a federal institution. We are expected to give up our right to privacy so that the sores on our children's bums can be healed just in time for this guy to get out and have another go at them? Would it be ridiculous to suggest that the government *needs* this man back out on the streets in 16 months (if he does 'good time') because there is a shortage of child molesters to hold over our heads for their next attack on our rights and liberties? Hell, give Tim McVeigh a pardon, and then use it for an excuse to make use of compost in the commission of a crime a felony. Personal not to FedUpMonger: I'm just OldAndTiredMonger. I don't need this shit anymore.
